Connie resin engines & props?

Nov 16, 2004 7 Replies

OK- just won an auction for a Heller Super G Connie- I remember a set of resin engines a while back- anybody know who from? Thanks, all.


D.B. Productions had some, way back when.

Also, there is a current set (great quality) from an outfit in Germany. The name escapes me, and I have not "googled" it up yet... ...but will keep trying.

Oh, doesn't FlightPath also have some?

There are six Connie conversions in the ESM 72 database. Always happy to add more. :-)

Classic Airline Logos: L.049 L.649

Kappner-Modell: L.649A/L.749A L.1049G L.1649A

Each listing is a seperate kit. All are cast resin.

Jim, I have not seen any of these so cannot speak to the quality. I also got a set from a guy in the Netherlands but they are no longer available. There is a photo-etch set available but it is (IMHO) over-priced unless you want an interior. Try here:

Jim, Oh yeah, also, the props are the same in all Heller Connies. They represent a little-used variant seen on some early, short-fuselage Connies. You might consider sanding down the leading and trailing edges so so do not look as "bulged". Ultracast Allison P-51 props look good too. Curt

I found this in my traipsing about the Web today:

I seem to recall a few days ago coming across a detail set or two for these kits. As I've got one of each of the Hellers, I'd be interested in some stuff as well...

Aeroclub also offers "square-tip" props if your subject wore them. If you use Whiskyjack's TCA 1049 decal, you'll need them. They're worth every penny.
